On Saturday morning we met with 6 other bikers at BHP Karak for a riding trip to Betong, Thailand. After refuelling, our Vulcan refused to start. We were lucky that some of our bikers' friends were able to diagnose and fix the problem. We started riding at 09:30 using the alternative road to KB via Gua Musang. We had nasi kukus and ayam percik lunch in Gua Musang and refuelled at Bukit Balah.

From Jeli we rode across the East West highway and stopped for hot coffee and solat at Puncak Titiwangsa. We refuelled at Pengkalan Hulu then headed to the border and completed immigration clearing by 19:30.

The group checked-in Thai Hotel, had our shower and later walked to a nearby muslim restaurant for dinner. Later at night we had Thai and oil massage for two in the room @Rm30/hr.

On Sunday, after breakfast of roti telur, we went on foot to the wet market, accessory shop and the Bazaar for last minute shopping. At noon we checked out and rode out for border clearing.

We stopped for lunch at Selat Pagar R&R and refuelled at Simpang Pulai and had our last stop at R&R Ulu Bernam. It was raining heavily all the way back and we reached our Putramas Apartment after Maghrib, tired but happy...
